968

The 968 was the final evolution of the front-engined, rear-transaxle Porsche lineage that began with the 924. The 3.0-litre four-cylinder engine was the largest and most powerful four-pot Porsche ever fitted to a production car, producing 240hp with VarioCam variable valve timing. The handling was widely regarded as the best of any Porsche at the time, including the 911.

Only about 12,800 were built across the short production run, making it one of the rarer modern Porsches. The Club Sport variant, stripped of luxury equipment and fitted with a limited-slip differential, is a focused driver's car that has become highly collectible. In Australia, the 968 is rare but appreciated by those who know it. It represents the pinnacle of Porsche's transaxle engineering and offers a driving experience that's distinct from the 911 but equally rewarding.
